BIRMINGHAM – A pair of Aggies earned SEC athlete of the year honors as voted on by the conference coaches. Deon Lendore was selected as the men’s SEC Runner of the Year for a second consecutive season while Ioannis Kyriazis was chosen as the men’s SEC Freshman Field Athlete of the Year.
Texas A&M has received three runner of the year honors in the past two outdoor seasons as Lendore and Olivia Ekpone swept those awards in 2014. The honor for Kyriazis is the fourth freshman honor for A&M, and first male recognition, during the three outdoor seasons they have been in the SEC.
